Why This BL Scene Was Censored in Thailand – Watch the Uncensored Version on Prime
Can a simple conversation about democracy be too dangerous for TV? That’s what the Thai censorship board seemed to think when they banned a scene from Till The World Ends—not because of explicit content or violence, but because it dared to discuss politics.
As an independent filmmaker, I believe in the power of storytelling to spark conversations. This scene wasn’t about taking sides—it was about educating people on democracy and the role of politicians in making it work. But in Thailand, even talking about politics is risky. That’s why five minutes of our hard work were erased.
Now, for the first time, you can watch the full, uncensored version on Prime and see the conversation they tried to silence.
In this scene, our lead characters discuss a fundamental truth: if you want democracy, you need politicians. Many in Thailand believe that all politicians are corrupt, but that mindset is dangerous. True democracy isn’t just about rejecting bad leaders—it’s about electing better ones and holding them accountable.
This wasn’t propaganda. It wasn’t about favoring any political side. It was simply a discussion about why democracy needs engaged citizens, not cynicism. Yet, the Thai censorship board labeled it “sensitive” and cut it out.
Why Censorship Hurts Democracy
Boys Love (BL) has always been a genre that pushes boundaries, telling stories mainstream media won’t. But when even a discussion about democracy gets censored, it shows just how fragile free speech is in Thailand.
I didn’t expect this scene to be controversial—I just wanted to open a dialogue. But the fact that it was banned proves why conversations like this are so important.
